Rita Bayrasli

I am an Adjunct English professor at a local college. I retired three years ago and now at 69 have reinvented myself; ie, acadame. My training as a journalist was as a New Times intern. My Public Relations career was with the firm which represents the European Travel Commission based in New York City. I have freelanced throughout the years. I am divorced and have two sons, two daughters-in-law and three grandchildren. As long as I enjoy good health, I intend being part of the work force which contributes to the education of the next generation.
